Does anyone know about the 'shingle street mysteries'..?

[@Swaggs303]

+Smith Smith I lived in Ipswich for a few months once and heard many stories about the place/area. Which one are you refering to?

[@fever7033]

that's great but what about all the Germans in the sea.? and the fire's hence the misteries ect - was it all true.?

[@Swaggs303]

Yes the Germans were all killed, their charred bodies were washed up on the shore having been burnt to death from all the oil set alight in the sea

[@fever7033]

Actually NO Germans were killed, this was just a myth, it was English personal on a training opps - I have since done some of my own research being a local resident from native Sutton, please read a book by James Hayward 'shingle street' - further more are you aware of the secret tunnels in the area of bawdsey manor.?

[@fever7033]

Dear sir, I forgot to ask if you are or were a local resident of the fore mentioned area.? if so do you remember seeing the 'Blood hound' missiles on the r.a.f base in the 80's.? kind regards cj.
